Assignments and Initial Thoughts

Virtual Environments is split into two assignments: An individual project worth 40% of the overall mark and a group project worth 60%.

• Individual Project: Create a 3D model of your own face.

Other than some embarrassing photographs, this project looks like a lot of fun. It teaches the importance of topology, modelling the face as accurately and efficiently as possible to allow for easy and good looking animation later on.

• Group Project: A Client led brief to produce an animation based around research of Finchingfield Guild Hall.

There are two choices for this project: Either create an animation that shows how the Guild Hall would have been used over the years and how it affected the society around it, or create an animation showing how the building will look once it has been redeveloped, showing how groups would use it in the present day.

I am slightly concerned about the group project at this point in time, as I do not know anyone in my class that would make forming a three/four person group easy. However, I'm sure this wont be too much of a problem for long.
